Can I ask how you find contracts? Are there that many contract roles posted in public or is it due to your network?

100k:

- network

200k:

- high signaled / luke warm outbound on dev communities (YC work at a startup job board is one)

- referrals

300k++:

- dedicated outbound tech sale person

you hired a sales person? can you elaborate on that?

[arrowsmith]

Do you work for a lot of different clients at once? How do things work day-to-day?

Upwork. Solely up work.

Wow, I tried upwork but it generally always seems to be entities in significantly cheaper countries underbidding everything.

How did you get started to snap up your first jobs on it?

If you are cool with $12 USD an hour: it is the place to be.

Upwork can work for very niche things as a extra channel. I've seen it work for people selling packages of "I'll fork bitcoin for you for 2k". For normal contracts it's terrible.

I started on freelancer websites when I was 15 and it was nice to bag 20$ per hour plus extra if I happened to be faster.

But the more experienced you get the more you can charge and use your network instead of cheap jobs on Upwork.

Upwork is masochism
